Tolbooth Museum
Aberdeenshire
The Tolbooth is the oldest building in Stonehaven, dating from the late 16th century and is category A listed. The original use of the stone building was that of courthouse and prison. Today the ground floor contains a museum that showcases the building’s turbulent past and Stonehaven’s rich history.
Visitors can examine the model of the Earth’s earliest known air breathing animal found at nearby Cowie, reminisce over past domestic and rural life, read informative panels on notable past individuals and events, view old photographs of the town or study the local geology. This year our resident mannequin is dressed to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the RNLI.
*Please note – the 1st floor contains the Tolbooth Restaurant which is not part of Doors Open Days.
